271. Sensates

Exhumans often specialize in their attempts to explore alternatives to humanity. Sensates are those who have become fascinated with sensation, seeking to create the broadest possible sensory experience, extremely specialized forms of sensing, or else edge as close as possible to total sensory deprivation while still functioning in everyday life. Psychosurgery is not the only or the best means of mind alteration; spending a year trying to recognize faces with only x-rays will alter your brains deep structures even more thoroughly.

Among the sensates are also the few exhuman artists, or at least that is the equivalent match an outsider can make. Works such as the almost-fractals of the sculptor Emmeram and the frozen extinction events of Unfortunate Garden have become famous among transhumanity, not least because of the questions that surround them.
